Just watched the video for the first time- no excuses for what he did. I sometimes feel for a guy (not known to be dirty) who knees someone as it is often a split second decision gone wrong. This was simply Gillies out looking for someone to fight, finding a guy who grabbed onto him as what happens in every scrum and taking it too far by not only throwing punches but finishing with the slam.
I don't know much about his past... everyone wanting him released has me thinking this isnt the first time he has done something stupid?
